										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exciting Opportunities with Share Food Program! We are looking for a Programs Director to add to our team!</p>
<p>Share Food Program (“Share”) is the leading hunger relief organization in the Greater Philadelphia region and one of the largest independent food banks in the nation. Share feeds hundreds of thousands of individuals each month—more than half of whom are children and seniors. The ripple effects of the pandemic, record rates of inflation, and critical cuts to government assistance benefits have plunged even more people into hunger and poverty. Philadelphia has the second highest rate of poverty of any major city in the U.S., and food insecurity is a public health crisis. Our network of caring volunteers, dedicated professionals, and generous donors works to bring nourishing food to our neighbors in need.</p>
<p>Since 2022, the need for Share’s services has increased by 120% and the need will only increase with the passage of recent legislation. Share is committed to being at the forefront of advocacy fighting against these policies and ensuring everyone has access to food. Funding for advocacy and expanding its major donor program are strategic goals for Share. Furthermore, Share has successfully completed two stages of its capital campaign to expand and revolutionize its Philadelphia warehouse headquarters at the heart of Share’s operations, to help more neighbors in need.</p>
<p>Position Overview</p>
<p>Reporting to the Deputy Chief Program Officer, the Programs Director works with the program managers to ensure the equitable distribution of resources throughout a network of over 150 partner pantries. This position functions as the primary relationship holder for Share Food Program with regards to program operations in Philadelphia County, and to a lesser degree, Montgomery and Delaware Counties. This position is located onsite at one of the Share Food Program’s three warehouses located in Philadelphia, Montgomery and Delaware Counties with the option to work from home available occasionally.</p>
<p>Core Position Job Functions And Responsibilities</p>
<p>The following statements reflect the general functions and responsibilities considered necessary to perform the essential functions of the job and should not be considered as a detailed description of all the work requirements of the position. Share Food may change the specific job duties with or without prior notice based on the needs of the organization.</p>
<ul>
<li>Oversee Pantry Network manager and data managers providing guidance, mentorship, and development opportunities</li>
<li>Clarify and communicate any TEFAP, SFPP or other program policy updates to Share Staff and the partner network</li>
<li>Ensure effective pantry ordering, inventory tracking, pantry monitoring and compliance, and effective resource distribution through continued process improvement</li>
<li>Represent Share Food Program at community meetings, forums, and coalitions – maintaining and improving the organization’s footprint and reputation in Philadelphia County primarily, and in Montgomery and Delaware Counties.</li>
<li>In partnership with DCPO, develop and implement a distribution philosophy that ensures equitable distribution of Share resources including TEFAP, SFPP, and donated food.</li>
<li>Develop and oversee implementation of pantry network assessment that will support goals of updated distribution philosophy and identify partner capacity building opportunities</li>
<li>Maintain applicable local and state level relationships including clarifying and communicating any TEFAP, SFPP or other program policy updates</li>
<li>Provide opportunities for program organizations and clients to contribute direct feedback about Share’s programs</li>
<li>Support manager’s in programmatic evaluation for pantry network distribution and make recommendations to improve effectiveness</li>
<li>Additional duties as required</li>
</ul>

The Farmer/Educator is responsible for assisting the Farmer Manager with the agricultural and educational components of the Farm. Work hours will be Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 7am-2pm.</p>
<p>Established in 2015, the <a href="https://www.mainlinehealth.org/specialties/community-health-services/wellness-farm">Delema G. Deaver Wellness Farm</a> (DWF) is a joint project of Lankenau Medical Center and Greener Partners. We believe that food is medicine and that increasing access to fresh food promotes health and equity. The Farm is a living lab for learners of all ages and backgrounds, offering opportunities to investigate and discover the interdependencies of farm ecosystems and public health. In particular, we focus on facilitating discovery-based learning with school-aged youth that inspires personal connections to growing, preparing, and eating fresh fruits and vegetables.</p>
<p>Understanding the multidimensionality of food insecurity and its function as a social determinant of health, the Farm also operates as a fresh food resource for Lankenau patients most affected by structural inequities. Annually, the Farm produces over 4,000 pounds of vegetables, all of which is distributed at no-cost to over 800 Lankenau patients. The Farm and its programs aspire to: increase patient access points to fresh food; highlight food insecurity as a social determinant of health; work with medical professionals to deepen and supplement their understanding of food insecurity as it relates to health; and influence a shift in conversation between patients and providers when it comes to nutrition and healthy eating.</p>
